  • This gate has seen better days and worse welders along the way! Now it’s up to me to correct the shoddy repair work left by another welding outfit.
    Here’s some tools I used
    Temco Toe Jack - amzn.to/41vysFN
    Bocomal Welding Jacket - amzn.to/3L6M7hu
    Black Stallion welding gloves- www.amazon.com...
    3m welding respirator- amzn.to/3L28jsO

    That's a great repair job with the inner pipe too. For any new welders you should know galvanized metal is toxic when welding so weld it outside, not in your garage without good ventilation.

      I was an electrician/welder. My foremen were always electricians, but rarely did they have welding experience. One job my foreman came and took the fan out of our prep shop while we were away getting materials. We were making pipe racks to hang from the ceilings from galvanized angle iron. My foreman had taken the fan because he thought I was just using it to keep cool. He tried to fire me because I refused to weld galvanized metal without a fan or respirator. The superintendent came walking through with the rep from the plant we were working in about the same time as I was telling the foreman to go fuck himself in front of his fan. After a heated discussion, the plant rep told the super he didn’t want that foreman on that job because he was dangerous. We recovered our fan and went back to work, that foreman went back to the hall to find another job.

    That is one of the best repairs I seen on fence I would do something like that but one of the things I do with sleeves when you put a slug in like that is I actually drill holes into the fence pipe and plug weld the internal slave so it can't spin especially on a gate but that's an awesome repair used stick I would have used flux core 211 Lincoln innershield but whatever gets the job done and I always do the whole nine keep turning and burning bud

    As someone that does this all the time. You did a great job. Best part for you it was a v track gate instead of a full cantilever gate because then you have to grind all your welds completely smooth for the rollers.

I live in Northwestern Canada and the snow, the salt and freeze and thaw cycles kill those wheels (even the ones with bearings) pretty quick. There's a local company that makes them with good seals and boots that cover the hub to keep crap out but they want a fortune for them.
